Scifi TV Discussion Thread

[The Alma Mater]

SG1 is fantastic, but this is the Star Trek thread, chummer.

No, this is the Stargate thread.

Nonsense. This is the Straczynski appreciation thread; so we mostly discuss Babylon 5, Captain Power, Wheeled Warriors and She-Ra: Princess of Power (no, not the netflix show where everyone is gay )

Not everyone was gay in She-Ra. There were like...3 straight couples in there.

This thread is for whatever half-decent sci-fi series with no thread people choose to talk about. We talk about The Orville when that's on, they like Stargate, there was a brief Babylon 5 period...

You can just post about whatever sci-fi pops into your fron? Huh.

No, we segregate the SW fans. We don't serve their kind here

Except me. I'm the daywalker of those fandoms, walking in both worlds.

So ST Lower Deck's trailer got so many dislikes so quickly CBS turned off comments and likes within an hour of it dropping.

And if you're wondering, yes, it probably will be awful. Like a 1 season filler show Fox would make to pad out airtime until their money makers got new episodes or a failed Adult Swim show that's ripping off Rick and Morty.

The Visitor really is an under rated episode

[Ameriganastan]

The Visitor really is an under rated episode

I consider it overrated myself.

its kind of left field sure, but it's a good story. And Tony Todd reminded us he can do more roles than just the bad guy which was nice to see.

The episode where Jack O'Neill single-handedly fucks over an entire advanced society of people by forcing an alien child to play Tau'ri games and paint pictures for a mere few hours is kinda an underrated episode. The sheer implications of what Jack inflicts upon those people are what really make it.

[New haven america]

They removed all Stargate works except for the 1994 movie from Prime.

Don't worry, the entire series is still up on Dailymotion, in glorious 480P.

SG-1 season 3 episode 5, Learning Curve.

This is the episode where the Naquadah Reactor, one of the most important pieces of engineering technology in the series, is introduced and obtained by Stargate Command in the form of the Naquadah Generator.

Ahhhh now i remember that one. Ive not watched SG-1 in a while, might go through it again and then Atlantis given i watched Universe earlier in the year.

Damn, good thing I finished my rewatch last month.

[Stellar Colonies]

No, this is the Stargate thread.

No, this is Patrick.

That's a stupid question.

Seriously?

Guess it's a good thing I wasn't planning to do a third rewatch of Stargate anytime soon. A shame though, that and Star Trek were the two main TV show/movie titans of my earlier years.

Dude . . . the Nazi episode of Stargate . . . I was really paying attention this time to gauge just how swiftly the team turned against the Nazis. And man, Jack actually acted with VERY little information. O'Neill only learned two things, for sure, that the population of the Nazi people were white and Daniel had assured him that they started the war. That's it. Not even remotely the worst bits, which Carter and Daniel learned. With what little knowledge O'Neill had, he assumes control of one of their fighter wings and goes on a decimation spree against the other Nazi fighter wings before plowing his own into the ground, severely devastating the underground complex the Nazis call home probably single-handedly ending the war for the "Breeders". And shortly afterwards, he kills Hitler by closing the Iris on him.

And practically reacted without hesitation. Like . . . it's actually so damn brutal. Not exactly what you would expect from a family show. The only thing comparable, imo, in sheer visceral impact, is in Atlantis when Shepard engages the gate's shield during The Storm and kills ~60 Genii. Like bugs on a windshield.

Footnote: René Auberjernois is phenomenal in that episode. Love that guy as an actor.

He found out he had been lied to, and that they used him to kill people unwittingly. That was enough.

I saw the trailer for that lower decks show. I think it looks alright honestly.

It looks like your standard adult cartoon a la family guy except in space.

Seriously, ST should thrive in animation because you no longer have the limitations of live action effects, and they decide to make Family Guy in space, sure. Not even good Family Guy, bad Family Guy after MacFarlane left.

I mean, I've SEEN threats to Roddenberry's vision with discovery and picard, but that trailer was the most viscerally dangerous piece of NuTrek media these guys have put out.

I'm not looking forward to Kurtzman's new "expanded universe".

So what makes DSC and PIC threats to Rod's vision, but the darker parts of DS9 weren't?
